La Trampa, Santiago Sierra

Spanish enfant terrible artist Santiago Sierra is notorious for creating morally violent situations with paid “actors” thus making a crude critique of the capitalist operational model. Trampa was an installation consisting of a long corridor along which the exclusive visitors would walk to find himself being silently observed by 186 Peruvian paid workers sitting in a theatre. On its way back the visitor would finish in the street where a security agent would thank them for their visit.
